Attack on Israel (6 Viewers)

I never said that. Please try to quote correctly. I said I would never kill someone. I'm sure it's easy to shoot someone (for example) in the leg so they can be apprehended by the relevant law enforcement officers.
Whereas the Americans here would quite happily kill someone, just like they shoot deer or bears for fun.

Good for you. I'm not that skilled with a gun, having only shot mine at a range once or twice

Duh! OF COURSE they end up bombing apartment complexes and schools. YOU work it out!

Because the Gazan's like to be bombed of course

Because Hamas hides in civilian population centers to attract a little more outrage.

If they are a moving target, not always so easy. Which is why when you are taught how to use a gun, your practice targets are oriented around upper torso, lower torso, and head shots as the best targets (in that order) to stop your assailant with the fewest shots. Aiming for an arm or a leg means you are aiming for the narrowest possible target. If your weapon is a shotgun or scattergun, then OK. If it is a pistol or rifle, not OK.

As gruesome as it sounds, the lessons taught regarding gun usage is that unless you are a marksman, you need to treat a gun as something you intend to use if you grab it. I.e. if you don't want to shoot someone, don't draw your gun from its holster. And if you DO draw it, you have to accept that the result could be lethal. In a way, that kind of instruction makes you think of the morality BEFORE you get into that situation.
